CREATE PLUS

Welcome to the new world of CREATE PLUS powered by STOLL and KM.ON!

What is...

...CREATE PLUS is the new dimension in flat knitting machinery programming. Combining a fully featured advanced programming system with an easy to learn user interface will greatly enhance your knitting capabilities. Realistic fabric view, intelligent tools and open interfaces embed CREATE PLUS perfectly into the upcoming digital workflows. The integration of a grading system, a full set of highly customizable modules and the ability to process the entire knitting order in few steps will significantly reduce your time to market.

CREATE PLUS is offered in combination with M1pus.

CUSTOMER BENEFITS

Being a powerful and easy to use software, with CREATE PLUS you can reduce the time to market in the following ways:

  •  Faster creation of patterns with sizes (up to 95% time saving)

  •  Faster creation of patterns with graphics (up to 85% time saving)
  •  Faster changes to all sizes and/or patterns within one project (up to 80% time saving)

Comprehensive All-in-One Solution

CREATE PLUS is more than just a software program; it’s an all-encompassing solution that includes shape development and grading (formerly GKS), knitting program creation, and an integrated CREATE DESIGN interface. This design system allows users to create and utilize digital yarns and export data for use in any external 3D software, facilitating quicker product development. By digitalizing the entire design and development process, CREATE PLUS enables significant time and cost savings.

For those already using M1Plus, CREATE PLUS offers compatibility and flexibility. You can easily convert or edit existing M1Plus programs, ensuring that your previous work remains valuable and accessible.

Integrated Shape and Grading Tools

The upgraded Grading for Knitting System (GKS) is now fully integrated into CREATE PLUS, requiring no extra software or additional licenses. This integration means that users can save significant time in the shape creation and grading process, and easily convert the shapes into knitting programs. Shape creation workflows are highly flexible allowing you to choose template shapes from the library, make your own shape from scratch or import DXF shapes from external software.

Realistic and Parallel Fabric View

CREATE PLUS offers an authentic knitting view with a parallel fabric view that provides continuous control. This feature allows the fabric view to be updated simultaneously with any changes made to the pattern. The fabric view is automatically updated and available as a preview, ensuring that you can visualize your designs in real-time. The realistic fabric view can display a simulation of your pattern with digital or scanned yarns and display the realistic knitting outcome in relation to the stitch density and stitch distortion.

Advanced Project Management

CREATE PLUS introduces a new advanced project management where you can have multiple patterns and shapes within a single project. Users can process all patterns or shapes in a batch, eliminating the need for laborious, individual modifications to each garment piece or size. This unified approach means that any changes to different parts and sizes of a garment can be implemented simultaneously, ensuring consistency and saving time. For instance, technical processing, Sintral, and machine program generation can all be managed more efficiently, reducing the overall project setup time.

Enhanced User Interface

CREATE PLUS allows you to work in multiple views simultaneously. Alongside the Basic Symbol View, users can engage the Expanded Symbol View, Fabric View, Graphical Shape View, or Line Shape View, with all changes in the pattern automatically updated across all views. For instance, the programmer could monitor the impact of a pattern change on the fabric view while simultaneously adjusting the graphical shape, ensuring precision and reducing the need for repetitive adjustments.

Effortless Module Creation and Modification

The Module Explorer within CREATE PLUS is designed for ease of use, featuring a preview and search function. All modules can be edited quickly and efficiently, including techniques such as the 1x1 method. Furthermore, these modules are seamlessly embedded within the pattern, allowing for smooth integration and application.
